Dec 22, 2014 11:54 PM in response to hibhavenby léonie,The EXIF tags set by the cameras are not unique. The manufacturers are using their own codes, and that may be ambiguous. In case of a conflict, Aperture will use one of the possibilities. There have been several reports about incorrectly identified lenses.
Not sure why this is happening, any clues on how to rectify this?
Did you update any software recently, for example update the RAW support?
Send a bug report to Apple, and report the wrong tag. You can use the feedback form: Apple - Aperture - Feedback
The only other alternative would be to use exiftool to change the EXIF tags of the originals. (Modifying EXIF tags of Originals Using exiftool: camera, lens, gps) But before going to that trouble, I'd wait, if Apple will fix the bug with the next RAW support update.

Mar 10, 2015 8:19 AM in response to léonieby hibhaven,Thanks Leonie. After going through my previous photos in Aperture, I noticed that all old pics also show the lens EXIF data incorrectly. I dont know if the EXIF data has been updated to reflect the incorrect information (probably as part of an OS X update!!). And with Aperture being phased out, I doubt Apple will provide any update to resolve this.
